Robert, good job!

I've become increasingly concerned about some of the under- and unresearched potential impacts of offshore wind development, primarily with behavioral and genetic effects of electromagnetic fields generated when the supposedly free electricity that is generated is piped ashore, and secondarily with the turbidity generated downcurrent from the "windfarms" (marvelous bit of marketing by whatever PR agency came up with that term). See https://docs.wind-watch.org/Wind-turbines-and-offshore-energy-development.pdf. I'm afraid that so far we only have a preliminary grasp of the damage that could be caused by the tip of the Biden Administration's 30 megawatt offshore wind iceberg. It might well be that there are impacts in the pipeline that will make a dozen dead whales pale into insignificance.

The Administration would be more concerned if they were Left Whales.
